Drone and AI inspections of building facades
JTC reported 70% shorter facade inspections in pilots using drones and AI
Problem
Facade inspections required workers on ropes or gondola lifts to inspect buildings and photograph defects. The work was slow and exposed staff to risks at height.
Approach
H3 Zoom.AI collaborated with JTC after its 2016 Open Innovation Call. Drones captured facade images for AI and machine learning software to flag possible defects. The system subsequently inspected more than 160 JTC industrial properties.
Results
Takeaway
The reported time reduction covered pilots; the subsequent property count described deployment.
